Here is the official artist’s rendering of the new OB library, expanded. More models and details were be displayed at Wednesday’s OB Planning Board meeting.
The Ocean Beach Library Expansion will include demolition of the 2-story adjacent building (the Annex), remodel the existing 5,095 sf library and construct a new 4,205 sf extension to the library. The new extension will designate space for expanded book collection area, a community meeting room with kitchenette, study rooms, office space, a Teen area, storage rooms, outdoor gathering area and new restrooms.

Hey thanks, but the vid is turned sideways. The OB Rag will have our report on the meeting tomorrow.
“The OB Library is going to be demolished.” hows that sound instead? then closed for years
Come to the meeting and find out what they’re planning. This is an opportunity for community input.
I don’t believe this is really going to happen based on current events.
My money would be on the city permanently closing the OB Library and selling off the land. That’s what we are being prepped for right now.
Someone please prove me wrong and give an actual reopening date of the library or at least the metrics the city has to reopen it- because there are none.
Sounds plausible. It was closed for months and months while Point Loma library was operating fine and dandy. If only there was a council member with some power….
